DANCING with the Stars’ Brooks Nader has ‘blindsided’ boyfriend Gleb Savchenko with an abrupt breakup as ‘revenge’ for him dumping her last year, a source told The U.S. Sun.
The lovebirds, who met as partners in the dance competition last Summer, have had a tumultuous relationship that ended as suddenly as it began.
On Monday, Gleb, 41, revealed that he learned about his apparent breakup through reports, and Brooks, 29, did not seem to give him a heads-up before the news went public.
Now, The U.S. Sun can reveal that the DWTS pro was “blindsided” by the end of their relationship.
“Brooks was done with the relationship and I think she just wanted to get her lick back,” an insider claimed.
The source continued: “She went and ended it in the press without talking to him first. She blindsided him the same way she felt he blindsided her when they broke up last year.

“She wanted to get him back and she did, she played the long game. When they first started dating, she seemed way more into him than he did her.
“The roles switched after a couple months together – he became obsessed with her and she grew less interested.
“By the end of it, I think she got ‘the ick’ from him and that’s something no one can recover from.
“Their time together ran its course but she’s grateful it happened,” the source said.
They added that there is “no hate or ill-will” and that she is “just done with him and the relationship and ready to move on.”
In November, The U.S. Sun revealed that Gleb “dumped” Brooks over text message in a hasty move however, they soon rekindled their romance.
After reports surfaced over the weekend that the couple had called it quits for good, the Russia native gave his candid reaction.
“I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship.
“The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6th, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied.
“The last time I saw Brooks was when I traveled to New York to support her and film an episode of her reality show on March 31st and April 1st.
“And she was sad to see me leave, but I had to return to DWTS to finish my four-month tour at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood,” he said in a statement to UsWeekly.
While there’s no apparent reason given for their breakup, People claimed that there was cheating involved – leading to Brooks calling it off over the weekend.
TWO TO TANGO
After weeks of teasing their romance, Gleb and Brooks, finally confirmed they were dating in a PDA-filled TikTok they posted back in September.
The video sent the DWTS fanbase – and fellow cast mates – into a frenze after they flaunted themselves locking lips backstage.
At the time, a source told The U.S. Sun that the Sports Illustrated model “has really started to fall for Gleb.”

“Her friends haven’t seen her this giddy or nervous around a guy before,” the insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
However, the dancer’s “playboy” reputation gave her loved ones concern as they began their relationship.
“They are trying to play it somewhat cool even though it’s out there that they’re a thing now but behind closed doors, they have so much passion.
“But her friends are worried Gleb is just using her. In the past there’s been rumors of him hooking up with his partner. And he does seem so charming and slick.
“Everyone around her is afraid and warning her that after the season ends, so will his interest in her but she isn’t listening to anyone that he’s such a playboy.”
